I Want To Hold Your Hand
Chapter 25
The Secret
I spent all Friday morning with mom and the girls shopping and doing other girl things we ate lunch at the Lloyd Center.
"God I hate Black Friday," I breathed after getting the last of mom's stuff into the car
"Well I like it," smiled Jess
"Yeah you would," Kimber cut in
"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked sweetly
I rolled my eyes and pointed out "Jess you bought everything for yourself,"
"Well that's what we should," she laughed
Back at the house:
Paul was exploring when stumbled across a music room "Wow" he said under his breath, as he walked in something caught his eye it was a beautiful Cherry Grand Piano. He stepped closer to it when Mr. Swanson came in
"She's beautiful isn't she?"
Paul jumped and turned around quick "Yes sir," he replied
"You do not have to nervous around me." he laughed
"Sorry you just startled me,"
"You like music then?" asked Mr. Swanson smiling
"Aye, it's my life"
Mr. Swanson nodded "I see can I show you something?"
"Sure,"
"Look around what do you see?"
Paul looked around the room and saw many guitars and pictures on the walls, one picture caught his eye it was of a young child no more than ten years old playing a black acoustic guitar with a silver humming bird on it
"Is that? No can't be," he started mumble
Mr. Swanson gave him a quick nod and said "Yes Keely,"
Paul stepped forward for a closer look and looked at her face "Was she any good?" he asked
"Well why don't you ask her yourself," smiled Mr. Swanson and turned to leave
"Um.. Sir may I?" Paul asked pointing to the piano
"Why certainly my fear boy," he said and walked out
"Ass kisser," said John as he entered the room
"What why?
"Mr. Swanson my I kiss your ass," he teased
"Oh shut it," breathed Paul
"This is bloody America I don't have to shut," John laughed
Paul shook his head and began to play a soft melody on the piano, he closed his eyes and felt the music flow through his fingers. He was like another person when he played he in-haled and exhaled as the music escaped his mind and onto the keys.
"Hi guys," I said as I entered the music room
"'Lo Keel," John said skipping over and hugging me
Paul stopped playing then turned to me "You did not tell us you played guitar."
"Oh well that was along time ago," I sighed
"Come on Peach I bet you can still play," he smiled
Well...I dunno?" I started to say but John cut me off by shouting "SHE'S GONNA PLAY GUYS!"
Next thing I know Ringo and Kimber came followed by George and Jess "What I never said I was going to play," I said
Paul came over whispered "You can do it" in my ear
"Fine I'm going to play one of your songs," I sighed
"Fab! What song?" asked John
I simply replied "Yesterday mind you I'm going to chance some words,"
"Okay let's hear it," said Paul clapping his hands together
"Tisk, tisk look how excited he is because the bird is going to sing his song," joked John
I stuck out my tongue at him as I went to get my guitar "Gosh I haven't played you in years" I said to myself.
"Okay here I go"
I strummed now all I had to do was remember the right cords and frets..
Finally after a couple tries I got right melody came from the guitar I started to sing...
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the girl I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
xoxo
xoxo
xoxo
Why he had to go
I don't know he wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.
xoxo
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
xoxo
Why he had to go
I don't know he wouldn't say.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm...
By the time I was finished my cheeks were bright pink, that was the first time I sang in front of that many people. The next thing I know is John started to crack up laughing
"It's because of you it was Paul," he spat
"Me why?"
"You face you looked like you were having an orgasm," he smirked
Paul face turned as bright as mine "Nope John he your wrong,"
"Da' hell I am," he said, then teased with a horrible sex voice "oh Keely PLEASE, PLEASE ME."
"Your perverted," he said
"Not as much as you are my friend," he laughed
"Hey aren't you two going to say something?" Jess asked George but Ringo answered her "nope it's best if we stay out of this come ladies," they hurried out of the room at super speed.
"John stop it his face did not look like that," I said in Paul's defense
"How do you know have you ever seen his face?" John asked wiggling his eyebrows
"First of all that is none of your.." Paul started to say but I put my hand up to his mouth
"It's not worth it," I said to Paul giving him a wink before turning to John and saying "besides I'll never tell"
"It's true Gram, Gram could sense it," John exclaimed
I shrugged and shook my head "Come Paul let us leave John to his fantasies,"
So that's what we did leaving John sitting their with a weird smile on his face, one can only imagine what goes on in his head.
